    Small message boards only really worked when people, generally, did not care about moderation.

    Or had ticker skins and just /ignored assholes.

      That was the answer right there. Stuff the assholes in your ignore list and forget that they exist. Too many people on the internet are wanna-be cops out to police everyone else’s ideas, language, or tone. The other person in a dispute is always a Commie or a Fascist and needs to be silenced as quickly and brutally as possible.

      The internet wasn’t for normies and making it easy for them to participate was a serious mistake.
